All is ready for Israel Folau's code of conduct hearing on Saturday... just don't expect a quick outcome
By Online Editors
The Australian Rugby Union have confirmed details for Israel Folau’s code of conduct hearing, revealing that the closed hearing proceedings will get underway on Saturday at 9.30am AEST at the Rugby Australia Building in Sydney.
A panel consisting of John West QC (chair), Kate Eastman SC, and John Boultbee AM will preside over the hearing that could proved lengthy as Sunday has been reserved as a second day if required.
Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle, NSW Rugby Union CEO Andrew Hore, and RUPA chief executive Prataal Raj will attend the hearing in person along with legal representatives from the parties.
The panel will consider submissions and evidence from both parties at the hearing, but is not expected to deliver a decision on the weekend.
The three-person independent panel will head arguments regarding whether or not Folau should be sacked by Rugby Australia for a social media post last month that said homosexuals were destined for hell, unless they repent their sins.

Agree we need a 10, 12, 13 refresh. ASAP. Well, next season now lol. Reiko should be put back on the wing. He'll be an absolute menace there. Imagine 11 Reiko 14 Clarke 15 Jordan as the backfield unit.
Go to commentsIt took a whole season to wash the Foster stink out to be fair. There's still been substantial change though. I think only 7 starters from the RWC QF v IRE started the IRE test in Dublin. This year wasn't the year for full innovation, transition needs to be balanced, & incremental. The new coaches will be able to stamp their full mark on the ABs from 2025 when Razor will select his first proper squad from a mega talented player pool. Exciting times ahead.
